The grandpa of boatbuilding books is Boatbuilding by Howard Chapelle. In print continuously since 1941, for many years it was the only game in town, and glassy-eyed dreamers would clutch their copies with a death grip. It features carvel construction, wood naturally, with only a nod to the other methods. Its strengths are plenty of detail and a foundation of traditionalism, its weaknesses are a Byzantine organization, dull style (yes, there are stylishly written boatbuilding books), and nothing on the miracle materials and methods that have been developed since WWⅡ. Nevertheless, if you are at all serious, you must have this book.
